    Be strong and work for the Lord, for He is with us and will help us. Do not be discouraged by the ’good old days’. Look at the need of the hour and do our best for His glory.

Ezra 3). • They were so discouraged by the conflict that they stopped work after laying the foundation. • Nothing was done while the people busy ...read more

     | 10,234 views

    One of the most powerful weapons of spiritual warfare that God has given to His children is fasting ... it will highly strengthen you spiritually. It is being hungry for God and feasting in the Holy Spirit leading to a REVIVAL.

    Opening illustration: A priest and a rabbi are discussing the pros and cons of their various faiths, and inevitably the discussion turns to repentance. The rabbi explains Yom Kippur, the solemn Day of Atonement, a day of fasting and penitence, while the priest tells him all about Lent, and its 40 ...read more

    When we become passive, smug, or listless in our relationship to God, He does not take it lightly; God doesn’t just want what we DO, He wants US, heart and soul.

    God’s Unrequited Love (Malachi 1:1-14) 1. We divide the OT prophets into two categories: the Pre-exhilic and the post-exhilic. The line of demarcation is 606 BC, when the Babylonian captivity began. In 586 BC, the temple was destroyed. The prophets who were active during this time or earlier ...read more
